TV show: Flying circus Monty Python (Monty Python's Flying Circus)

- I took the liberty to inspect the parrot. And found that he was sitting on a perch only because I was attached to her nails.
- Yes, he was nailed! I mean... If I'd arrived, he'd pushed the bars, and flew away.
I'm sorry, but this parrot won't fly away, even if he miss 4000 volts. He's dead.
- No, he... he misses.
- He's not pining. He died. This parrot is no more, it ceased to exist. He's stiff, bereft of life. If you did not nailed on, he'd now gathered the daisies. He would have flown across the sky and joined the invisible choir of angels. It is a former parrot.
Well... then I better replace it.
- If you want this country to achieve something, you have to complain until you're blue...
- Sorry, I've looked at... we ran out of parrots.
Yeah, I get that.
- We have a slug...
- He can speak?
I'm not sure.
In this case, this is hardly an equivalent replacement.
